about the Republic of Tajikistan:

Tajikistan became
independent in 1991 following the breakup of the Soviet Union. It
experienced a civil war between regional factions from 1992-97.
There were several security incidents in 2010, including a mass
prison-break from a Dushanbe detention facility, the country's first
suicide car bombing in Khujand, and armed conflict between government
forces and opposition militants in the Rasht Valley. The country remains
the poorest in the former Soviet sphere.
